DANGER!
Risk of Electrocution
All electrical connections must be performed by a qualified licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electric Code
(NEC) following state and local electrical codes in effect at the time of the installation.
• Connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will eliminate many of the spa’s built in safety features which may result
in fire, electrocution, or other risk of injury. Damages to the spa which are the result of improper wiring are not covered
under the manufacturer’s warranty and will terminate all listings from independent listing agencies.
• The electrical supply for your spa must be housed in a weatherproof junction box and include a suitably rated switch and
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
between the main service entrance and the spa to open all ungrounded supply conductors
in compliance with Section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code/USA, ANSI/NFPA/70 and in compliance with independent
listing agencies. This might be used as a shut off switch, and must be installed so that it is accessible to the spa occupants,
but not within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa.
• The wiring specifications in this manual are for standard installations where the main power supply is within 40 feet of the
spa. If the main power supply is more than 40 feet away, the electrician must make appropriate modifications.
• The electrical instructions and diagrams contained in this manual and inside the spa control box are included as a guideline
for the licensed electrician installing the electrical connections and vary by model. Please refer to the wiring diagram inside
the spa control box for model specific connection instructions. All wiring connections must be watertight.
• All connections must be made using copper conductors only. Do not use aluminum wire. Connection wires, circuit
breakers, and/or fuses, must all be sized to accommodate the Total Ampere load.
• Never turn power on to the spa when it is not filled with water.
DO NOT connect power to the empty spa. When power
is supplied to the spa, it automatically activates critical components within the spa, such as the pumps, controls and
the heating. If power is supplied to the components before it is filled with water, the components may be damaged
instantly. Damage that occurs to the spa because power was supplied before it is filled with water is not covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
• Prior to performing any service, turn OFF all primary electrical equipment at the main circuit breaker or disconnect panel.
• Your spa must be permanently connected (hard wired) to a power supply that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). Power supplied to your spa must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances, lighting, or other
electronic components powered by the circuit.
• Do not permit any electrical appliances like lights, telephones, mP3 players, radios or televisions within five feet (1.5m) of
the spa unless they were built in by the manufacturer. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in death or serious
injury from electrocution if the appliance should fall into the spa.
• Do not use head phones while using the spa
• All metal components or accessories that are permanently installed, like handrails, ladders, drains and hardware that are
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa must be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors no smaller than
No. 6 AWG.
WIRING REQUIREMENTS FOR 240V SPAS
• The minimum wire size for 40 and 50 amp systems is # 6/3 c/w ground (6 gauge/4 conductor) if the main power supply
is within 40 feet of the spa. If the main power supply not within 40 feet, your electrician should make the appropriate
modifications.
• The spa must have dedicated 240V service from the main power supply.
Do not attempt to share service with other
appliances. Use only a class ‘A’ double-pole Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
• To access the spa controls, remove the cabinet panel and store it safely. Do not replace the access panel until the spa is
filled with water and you are sure it is operating properly.
